There's been an emergency!Not quite the Wikishuffle crew-member death that we were preparing for when we recorded this emergency episode back in February, but an emergency nonetheless.They (Northamptonshire County Council) are resurfacing the road outside Wikishuffle HQ, and it turns out that's quite a noisy activity. Too noisy for recording podcasts over, anyway.So we've had to resort to our backup plan and dust off our emergency episode. Which is about exploration and the inevitable cannibalism that ensues.Normal service will resume next week. At least I hope so, because we haven't got any more emergency episodes in the bank.

Stacey from her eponymous pop culture parlour podcast is back for our second special guest episode for May.We've dialled down the smut this time around, and we're talking things nautical and anime.Don't forget that Stacey will be holding her 24-hour podcast marathon later in the summer and you can pledge your support at justgiving.com/spcplive2 in aid of the Alzheimer's Society.

We're not bitter. Honest, we're not. The Guardian explicitly told us they were going to feature Wikishuffle in their podcast feature and they didn't. That's fine. We understand. And we definitely didn't take it personally.In other news, please acknowledge us where the Guardian so ardently refused by voting for Wikishuffle in the New Media Europe podcast awards:https://www.facebook.com/events/438299223042307/permalink/474661112739451/

While we may have used the odd sweary word in the past, this is the first Wikishuffle episode where I feel the need to issue a specific warning for adult content.You see, this is what happens when we allow a West Midlander to breach the sacred divide that is the M6. She brings with her a whole host of smut, that we innocent and virginal East Midlanders are contractually obliged to then talk about.Stacey Taylor (from out of off of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour podcast) has an endurance event she'd like to bring our attention to. And to welcome her to the studio, Chris has been getting creative.

Leicester City have won the Premier League - hear it here last. Despite Jack's obvious giddiness we try and knuckle down to some Wikishuffling and let the random article button plot our path for us.Sumatra and Texas are this week's destinations. Why not join us?

It's episode 69. Please try not to snigger, that would be infantile.We've accidentally Wikishuffled our way into a racism special, which is nice. Some from the 30's (when nobody knew any better), some from the 21st century (when people definitely should know better - we're looking at you, Urban Outfitters).Stick around til the end of the episode for a little bit of improvised radio theatre. Like what Mike Leigh might make.

Two episodes in two days? It's a Wikishuffle personal best (or worst, depending on your point of view).In this week's episode, we're calling out Scientologists, and are definitely the only media outlet ever to have done so [citation needed].Other than that, you can hear our take on pooltime fun, and stick around to the end for Chris and Phil's review of Stewart Lee's ATP festival.

Time for the second half of this month's guest episodes, and we're swingin' on the flippity flop with Keith Clark once again.It's quite clear to everyone who his favourite member of the Wikishuffle team is. Chris is lavished with gifts, and his opinions on animals with jobs are given altogether too much of a platform.Clever animals to one side, 90's America provides the inspiration for the other articles Keith has selected. Don't be a lamestain - get yourself bound and hagged ready for this week's bonus Wikishuffle.

We side with Bill Gates over Steve Jobs, ponder what the Sweaty Girl Look of the nineteen sixties might have involved and clarify for the record that Jack is NOT the alter-ego of rambunctious superhero Fashion Man.Then we're heading towards international waters, and there's some planning afoot. Well, it's coming from Chris, so I use the word planning in the loosest possible sense.
